    EDAC/amd64: Decode syndrome before translating address · 8a2eaab7
    Yazen Ghannam authored
    AMD Family 17h systems currently require address translation in order to
    report the system address of a DRAM ECC error. This is currently done
    before decoding the syndrome information. The syndrome information does
    not depend on the address translation, so the proper EDAC csrow/channel
    reporting can function without the address. However, the syndrome
    information will not be decoded if the address translation fails.
    
    Decode the syndrome information before doing the address translation.
    The syndrome information is architecturally defined in MCA_SYND and can
    be considered robust. The address translation is system-specific and may
    fail on newer systems without proper updates to the translation
    algorithm.
